The Warren Public Library will be having its annual Mid-Winter Fundraiser on January 25.

The theme this year is Books, Blues and Brews.

“The annual Midwinter Fundraiser is our sole source of funding for the programs that we provide each year. Our 2025 event will support the expenses for planning, purchasing, and presenting all of our 2025 community programs for children, teens, and adults. We have something to interest everyone,” said Kelli Knapp, Warren Public Library director. “It is rare for any of the Warren Public Library programs to charge a fee to participate. We do not want anyone to be excluded because they can’t afford to attend. We are here for everyone in our community”

The fundraiser is on Saturday, Jan. 25, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Warren Public Library, 205 Market St. The event includes games, prizes, a 50/50 giveaway, light hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. The cost is $40 per person in advance, or $50 per person at the door.
